BobCo19-65 - I have an OL Adcock longbow, and I'll put it up against any recurve or longbow out there as far as smoothness of draw, shock/vibration and quiteness. Its a pleasure to shoot, and if/when I find a recurve/longbow thats smoother in those aspects, I will buy it. Thats what I want, a bow that pulls smooth, is shock free and quiet, and delivers the arrow well. Thats why I shoot my Adcock longbow. The next closest bow for smoothness would be my buddied SAII, but its not quiet and has a little vibration even though its quite a bit heavier. But then, I aint shot all the bows that are out there either, I might one day find one I like better .....
